The STMicroelectronics L6982 is an easy to use synchronous monolithic step-down regulator capable of delivering up to 2 A DC to the load. The L6982 is based on a peak current mode architecture and is packaged in an SO 8L with internal compensation, thus minimizing design complexity and size. The L6982 is available both in low consumption mode (LCM) and low noise mode (LNM) versions. LCM maximizes the efficiency at light-load with controlled output voltage ripple so the device is suitable for battery-powered applications. LNM makes the switching frequency constant and minimizes the output voltage ripple for lightload operations, meeting the specification for low noise sensitive applications.
